[BBOS/PB/BB10] CherryNotes - The text editor of your dreams is here

CherryNotes for BBOS and PlayBook

The text editor for everyone that lives in the cloud but wants control over local and cloud text files.

The text editor of your dreams is here. With CherryNotes you can easily manage your notes and select which ones will get synced to the cloud and which ones should stay local. With one click you back up notes to the cloud and with another click bring any note from the cloud back to your device, and all the notes that are on both locations get synced effortlessly.

As a multitasker I always wanted a text editor that let me keep notes on the device but at the same time sync some of them with a cloud storage solution. After a year looking for the perfect app I couldn't find it, so I decided to build my own, that's how CherryNotes was invented.

Just looking for more clarity: Are these "NOTES" actually, SEPARATE TXT files? Or are they all linked together in the app? In other words, when I create say, Note1, is it a separate File from Note2? Or are they all stored in one file?

Maybe need to fix this :)

Limited set of users can receive access tokens while app in development mode. Something like this message came up when trying to authenticate with dropbox. Really looking forward to seeing this app being developed further

I'm extremely sorry for this. 2 friends reported the same issue 10 minutes after I published the post, and it happened because in the craziness of fixing all the final bugs, polishing the interface and making sure both versions (PlayBook and BB10) were perfect together I forgot to change the Dropbox status in my developer console to production, the problem is that now I have to wait for Dropbox to approve the app. I've already sent an email to Dropbox right after I received the first report and I'm still waiting for the response.

I'm sorry for this issue, developing a app for a month and forgetting a little thing right at the end is extremely frustrating. I'm asking for everyone receiving this issue to not rate the application with 1 star because of this and to wait until I can get Dropbox to approve it.

Hi! I really like this idea nathanpc should definitely come in handy once school starts, only thing I'd definitely like to see is a bit more availability of what cloud you can use, personally I use box instead of dropbox, but I do know there are other people out there that use google, sugar sync, skidrive, starred, etc... All in all this would definitely take this already great application to the next level, now what are you waiting for people DOWNLOAD

There is just no comparison with GroovyNotes (which, also, is four times costlier). GroovyNotes handles attachments to the notes (images, voice recordings, sketches), has separate categories, an indexed search capacity (which means you'll find back quickly a word in 1000 notes -in contrast, a multiple-text-file-based app like cherrynotes just cannot index and probably will slow proportionate to the number of notes).
Cherrynotes rather compares with the large list of "grocery notes" apps. It has an extremely minimal feature set and will have a hard time indeed against free 'listers', some of them very elaborate like 'My Grocery Book' or 'Do'. Its advantage anyhow lies in its actual weakness: text files --you'll always be capable to get them back, any time in the future, on any machine: this, is valueable, and very few others allow it (groovyNotes does )
And the cloud backup, well, everyone loves private cloud backups apparently nowadays. I for one would welcome an actual ftp backup, for ftp doesn't link you to any 'big brother', and mostly everyone has an unused ftp capacity coming with its ISP contract...

That is one of the things on my TODO list for the next releases. I want to integrate more with other services.

No problem, I can implement FTP support, but that will come later since now I want to focus on fixing bugs and integrating with other cloud solutions. I want FTP support too since it will be a lot easier for me to move notes on my LAN.

Just a quick update for everyone that couldn't find the application in the App World web site. I got a response from RIM about the issue and they said it's because there's a bug in their web site that is preventing applications that support full-touch BlackBerry 10 from showing up. They said a fix will be live later this week.

Nathan - love that you are blazing trails. When you are releasing apps that create problems that RIM has to address that means progress is occurring. Nice to see them responding to you and nice to see you keeping users informed here. Keep that up - the devs who are active here, connect with users, and pitch in "outside" their app's threads seem to enjoy a loyal CrackBerry fanbase.

Thanks very much for your tips and encouraging words. I also want to say that I'm preparing the "search" feature to be included in the next update. I'm currently polishing it in the PlayBook version and as soon as finish this I'll be porting the code to the BlackBerry 10 version.

With this current version you can't, but I'm going to implement that for the next release.

Update: I've just finished implementing and testing the search feature, now I'll start working on the import stuff, which might take a while since you need to combine several APIs to make it work properly.
